A harness can be light, but if it’s not comfortable, your performance suffers. Supair has designed the Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY with ergonomics at the forefront, ensuring you remain relaxed and focused throughout your flight. The seat geometry, support points, and leg strap design create a natural posture that minimizes fatigue, even after several hours in the air.

Optimized Comfort Features

Advanced Aerodynamics for Cross-Country Excellence

The Supair Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY isn’t just light and comfortable—it’s built to enhance your glide and maximize your performance in every thermal and transition. The pod’s aerodynamic profile minimizes turbulence and drag, giving you a cleaner airflow for smoother, faster, and more efficient flights.

Aerodynamic Enhancements

• Taut fabric tensioning to prevent flutter and energy loss

• Clean riser integration for uninterrupted airflow

• Compact silhouette for reduced crosswind resistance

In competitive or personal cross-country goals, every fraction of glide efficiency matters, and this harness ensures you get it.

Unmatched Comfort for Backcountry and XC Flights

When you’re hours into a flight, comfort becomes more than a luxury — it’s a necessity. The Supair Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY has been meticulously designed to provide a seating experience that keeps your body aligned, supported, and fatigue-free. Supair engineers have ensured that the harness geometry works in harmony with the pilot’s natural posture, helping you stay relaxed and focused throughout long flights.

Comfort-Enhancing Features

• Ergonomic seat geometry that encourages healthy spinal alignment

• Adjustable lumbar support to relieve lower back tension

• Optimized leg strap positioning to prevent pressure points

• Breathable fabric panels for temperature regulation

• Smooth pod entry and exit for effortless in-flight adjustments

Whether you’re ridge soaring in calm evening air or navigating complex thermals for hours, your harness must feel like an extension of your body. The Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY achieves this through thoughtful material choices, strategic padding placement, and a shape that adapts to your flying style.

The result? Less shifting, fewer distractions, and more energy dedicated to enjoying the flight and achieving your goals. Comfort is not an afterthought here — it’s the core of the design.

Caution & Pilot Guidance

While the Supair Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY is designed with advanced safety and comfort features, it is important to remember that no harness replaces responsible piloting. This is a high-performance piece of equipment intended for experienced pilots or those under the guidance of certified instructors.

Important Usage Cautions

• Always perform a full pre-flight check — inspect webbing, buckles, and reserve connections before each launch.

• Familiarize yourself with reserve deployment in a safe environment before flying in challenging conditions.

• Adjust the harness to your body before takeoff to avoid mid-flight distractions or discomfort.

• Avoid exceeding recommended weight limits to maintain structural integrity and aerodynamic performance.

• Stay within your skill level when attempting cross-country or backcountry flights in variable conditions.

Even though the Strike 2 BACK COUNTRY is stable and forgiving for its performance class, it remains a harness built for ambitious flying. Turbulence, strong thermals, and rapid weather changes can present risks that only proper preparation and decision-making can mitigate.

By respecting these cautions, you ensure that the harness delivers not only its full performance potential but also a safe and enjoyable flying experience every time you take to the sky.

In-Flight Safety You Can Trust

Safety in the air isn’t just about having a reserve parachute — it’s about feeling secure, stable, and in control from takeoff to landing. The Supair Strike 2 Harness BACK COUNTRY integrates intelligent safety systems and stable flight geometry, ensuring you can fully focus on the air ahead without distraction.

In-Flight Safety Features

• Integrated reserve parachute container for fast, intuitive access

• Back protection system to reduce impact forces during hard landings

• Reinforced attachment points for maximum load security

• Stable geometry to keep the harness balanced in turbulence

• Clean riser routing to prevent interference during maneuvers

Once in the air, the Strike 2 BACK COUNTRY remains remarkably stable, even when conditions become challenging. The carefully tuned geometry helps dampen sudden pitch or roll, giving you a smoother, more predictable ride. This stability is essential for maintaining efficiency in thermals and confidence during transitions.

The reserve handle is positioned for quick, natural reach — an important detail that can make a critical difference in emergency situations. Furthermore, the back protector is engineered to provide robust impact absorption without adding unnecessary weight, keeping you both protected and agile.

Supair’s commitment to safety is evident in every stitch, buckle, and adjustment point, giving you the assurance to push your limits without compromising your security.

Supair Strike 2 Harness

Compared to the STRIKE 1, it is more ergonomic, more comfortable and more flexible thanks in particular to an inflatable protection ( option ). It is designed for competition and leisure hike and fly pilots. It can also be the main harness for cross country pilots looking for lightness.

Ease of installation and safety with the closing of the harness on the two attachment points of the glider. The harness opens completely and closing is done directly on the carabiners without any other buckle and on only two points.

The new geometry allows better transmission from the wing to the pilot, thin and sensitive, adjustable by the chest strap.

The comfort is complete with a removable comfort plate, and a geometry of the speedbag attachments that allows a natural and effortless position of the legs.
As an option, a new certified inflatable protection saves weight (65g) and especially the volume carried in the bag. Ideal for competitive hike and fly.speed paramotor

For landings in mountains or in turbulence, the harness can be piloted seated, legs bent, it remains manoeuvrable and comfortable.speed paramotor

On take-off, the run is easy (light harness with leg straps), the seated passage and the installation in the speedbag are obvious.
In flight, the adjustments and geometry of the harness allow adaptations to the morphology and flight positions of each pilot.

The STRIKE 2 has been designed to be flown with dyneema connectors as well. This lightens the material and makes the leg straps fixed as for the X-Alps harness. You will then have to put on the harness like a climbing harness. This is the “competition” mode.
